《春秋》原是先秦时代各国史书的通称，但仅存鲁国《春秋》传世，相传经孔子整理和修订后成为儒家重要经典。它是我国现存第一部编年体史书，记载了起自鲁隐公元年（前722），迄于鲁哀公十四年（前481），共242年间的历史。 后世有很多注释《春秋》的书籍，最著名的《左传》《公羊传》《谷梁传》合称“春秋三传”。 宋代注释《春秋》的著作多达二百四十余部二千七百九十余卷 , 位居十三经之首。南宋朱熹在《朱子语类》和《朱文公文集》中大篇论述了《春秋》，为元、明、清及近现代研究《春秋》，开创了新时代，是《春秋》学史中承前启后的重要阶段。现存《春秋左传》四十八石，缺十五石。
In the Pre-Qin era, the Spring and Autumn Annals was a general name of various states’ history books. However, except the annals of Lu State, all others had been lost. Through Confucius’ revision, it was regarded as a classic. This book chronicles the events from Lu Lord Yin’s first year (722 BC) to Lord Ai’s 14th year (481 BC). Zuo Qiuming and two scholars made their commentaries, but Zuo’s has been the most popular. In the Song dynasty, scholars wrote over 240 works in this regard, such as those in Zhu Xi’s quotations and writings. At present, 48 steles are extant and 15 are not available.
